International Guild of Bit and Spur Makers

The art of bit and spur making is a unique talent and reflects the style of each individual’s artistic expertise. Our newest website, The International Guild of Bit and Spur Makers (IGBSPM), is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 that strives to provide a forum for these specialized artists and showcase their craft.


The organization’s purpose is to provide a network for international bit and spur makers to educate fellow artists, collectors, and the public, while expanding awareness and raising the quality of the art. The Guild offers opportunities to share ideas, methods, and techniques with fellow artists, while promoting and enhancing the art of bit of spur making.

This educational and informative site has a Tutorial Page, where visitors can view videos to learn the trade from some of the best bit and spur makers in the business. It also features a Forums page, where members of the Guild can exchange ideas and techniques.

Soon the site will showcase items for sale by some of the Guild’s members and highlight a different Feature Artist occasionally.

The IGBSPM offers different levels of membership for those artists who are interested in becoming associated with the Guild. Visit the IGBSPM to learn about membership in this group.
